Add or Edit a Conference: Conference Name

Every conference must have a name. Although it is certainly possible to put a lot of description in the Name field, it may be better to keep the name brief and use the description field for the details. To name and describe a conference, follow these steps:

In the Conference Name section’s Name field, type a brief name for the new conference. This name appears in the Conferences list and conference profile. You’re limited to 255 characters. HTML and WebBoard tags are accepted. This is a required field.
In the Conference Description field, type a description to give the user more detailed information about the conference purpose and contents. The description is included with the conference profile, which is available by clicking Conference Profiles on the More Options menu. You’re limited to 255 characters. HTML and WebBoard tags are accepted. For example, a description for the Great Local Books conference could be “The best literature available in our library and bookstore.” A conference description is optional.
